Getting Around Waterloo Region By Bicycle

Winterloo – Photo Journey of standing outside on the coldest days of my life

When we (WaterlooBikes and TriTAG) talked about a Winter Cycling booth at Winterloo 2015 no one expected the record setting temperatures. Both days (Feb 14 & 15) had windchill temperatures in the -35C to -41C range.

The goal of the booth was to promote winter cycling, trying to normalize it by allowing people to try out winterized bikes (studded tires, a fat bike, a cargo bike with studded tires and a few others). A secondary goal was to highlight the council vote on protected bike lanes on King Street which could come late March or early April 2015.

Thanks to everyone who helped out in the frigid temperatures, stopped by for a chat and had the gumption to try out a winterized bicycle!
